    Looks like the inspiration point for the design of the Tricorder for the Original Star Trek TV series.

    A web search for “Air King A-410” reveals several references with clear photos and more details. Apparently these things came in various colors, including brown and green.

    I can’t tell you the number of times I wanted to take a picture with a regular camera but my fear of missing my radio program on my separate radio prevented me from doing so. Now I don’t have to worry, and it is light weight as well.

    And we have cameras with radios today.

    They’re called cellphones. 😛

    Look at phones today that have cameras, and cameras that have phones. The line between them blurs. And the ipad is everything (except the bottle opener – I’m expecting that in ipad3).
